Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center plans to add several hundred jobs in its current fiscal year, after its overall budget grew about $200 million to $1.5 billion during the previous fiscal year.
Mercy Health Partners, which operates five hospitals in the area, is spending $180 million to buy Jewish Hospital and plans to spend more than $200 million on a new replacement hospital in Green Township.
The Christ Hospital will probably not fill open jobs that don’t directly impact patients and will keep salaries level after a 2 percent increase this year and will defer spending on training programs.
